Hi,
Recently bought a 1979 HZ SL Kingswood.
When bought ran fine, went interstate for a couple of days came back wouldn't start.
Jumped it, started first go. Ran fine for the drive. Came back and no dice on the start. Sounds like the battery isn't charging and when trying to start whirrs out like no charge.
First thought was alternator, but car was running fine for the drive.
Next thought was battery, changed over batteries. Started fine, ran fine. Took out battery and wouldn't start the car it came out of.
Searched a fair bit on these forum threads and a few others. Can't seem to find an exact problem or a round-about solution for the problem.
Any ideas, advice or theories would be much appreciated.
Thanks
